Similar to most families in the Northern Hemisphere, besides being Cybersecurity Awareness Month, October is also a time of year where scary movies and pumpkin patches take centerstage. For us, we recently took our kids to pick pumpkins still on the vine, suffer through a very bumpy hayride and line up against the eight foot ruler to see “How Tall this Fall” our kids were. All of these activities were free (besides paying for the pumpkins themselves).   Read more

When people hear the words backup and recovery, they often think they’re interchangeable. In reality, they’re two sides of the same coin: one protects your data before disaster strikes, and the other gets it back after.

My family and I have recently started a weekly dinner and a movie routine, where we base the dinner menu around the characters or premise of the movie. For us, we’re counting down to an upcoming family trip, but I’m hoping to keep up this fun routine even after our trip.

Oh, the fun of family traditions… but now to the security part of this story.  Read more

The other day, I was watching a local junior high school soccer match. One team was advancing down the field as the forward was calling out to his teammates where to go and who to cover. The other team was all crowded together just trying to get the ball. One team was focused on their strategy, while the other team was focused on one short term goal — get the ball. It probably isn’t hard to guess which team came out the victor in that game. The team focused on their short-term goal lost focus on their fundamentals — they didn’t think about what they would do if they got the ball or if their short-term goal wasn’t met and ... Read more

We’ll dive into a disaster scenario in which a Veeam repository server cannot be recovered, but the block storage, used for storing the backups, is still intact and consistent. As an example, a classic situation would be a physical server with hardware that is defective, but the disc shelves or fibre-channel sub-storage system is not affected by the hardware failure.

Television and movies would have us believe cybercriminals have to execute complex plans that involve rappelling from rooftops and avoiding lasers to break into our networks. In reality, it only takes a well-crafted email and a distracted person to start a chain of events that can cost millions of dollars to repair. While that seems like a simple problem to solve, multiple layers of security controls needed to fail for the ransomware attack to succeed.  Read more
